The Argentina international netted the winner for Juventus in their Champions League semi-final victory over Real Madrid, and the full-back was thrilled for his team-mate.Juventus defender Patrice Evra believes Carlos Tevez's time at Manchester United has made him a champion capable of match-winning contributions.Tevez won and scored the second-half penalty that sealed a 2-1 victory for the Serie A outfit in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
And Evra, who played alongside the Argentine striker at Old Trafford, feels the winning attitude instilled in him with the Red Devils has proved to be hugely important in his growth as a player.Carlos Tevez is like myself: United blood," he told ITV Sport. "He's a champion and he's working hard, he's a very good professional.I was very pleased to see him again and of course he's had a fantastic year, but like you say we want to win this Champions League.We have done good stuff, in the first leg of the semi-final, and we need to make sure we get ready for the second leg.It's going to be difficult but of course I'm really pleased for Carlito because he's a massive professional.Evra and Tevez were both part of the United side that won the Champions League in 2008, but the France full-back feels there are differences between that team and the squad Massimiliano Allegri has put together in Turin.United will remain United, Juventus is Juventus. Different team but they have a massive story as well and that's why we have to respect.
